AuGres boys lose to Hillman

HILLMAN — AuGres-Sims' best effort of the season wasn't quite enough Thursday as Hillman was able to hang on to its unbeaten record with a 63-57 victory over the Wolverines.

The Wolverines, who trailed 47-42 after three quarters, pulled to within one point in the late-going, but missed free throws and a couple of untimely turnovers ended their comeback hopes.

"We haven't learned to win these kinds of games yet," said AGS coach Gordie Ostrander. "We had our chances. We did a lot of good things, but we also made some mistakes that were costly."

The Wolverines, who finished 8-of-20 at the free throw line for the game, were just 1-of-7 in the fourth quarter.

Chad Taylor led the Wolverines (3-4, 2-2 North Star League) with 19 points, including five 3-pointers. Alex Lutz had 11 points and five assists, A.J. Baker scored 10 points and had six rebounds and Travis Byard had nine points and 11 rebounds.
